Iconic ultra-luxury hotel brand coming to Shanghai

STAMFORD, CT – Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide, Inc today announced the signing of an agreement with Shanghai Huayu Real Estate Co, Ltd, a subsidiary of B M Holding (Group) Co, Ltd, to bring its ultra-luxury St. Regis brand to Shanghai. Scheduled for completion in early 2017, The St. Regis Shanghai Jingan will open its doors in one of the most exclusive, sought-after locations in the heart of the city’s central business district. The new hotel will join the brand’s fast growing presence in Greater China, where St. Regis currently operates six properties and has an additional ten in the pipeline—including The St. Regis Macao, which is set to open this December.

“St. Regis remains laser-focused on growth in destinations where affluent travelers from around the globe are seeking unparalleled guest experiences, and we are thrilled to expand our Chinese portfolio with a flagship hotel in Shanghai – one of the most vibrant cities in the world,” said Jim Petrus, Global Brand Leader, St. Regis Hotels & Resorts. “The St. Regis Shanghai Jingan will set a new standard for luxury hospitality in Shanghai, with our tech-forward and multi-lingual St. Regis butlers providing discerning guests with memorable and personalized service experiences.”

The St. Regis Shanghai Jingan will be situated on West Beijing Road—one of Shanghai’s most desirable addresses—in close proximity to the West Nanjing Road business area in Jingan, a well-established central business district featuring premium corporate offices and luxury retail stores.

An international metropolis and a world-renowned financial center, Shanghai is the regional headquarters of more than 520 multinational companies and features one of the world’s largest stock exchanges. The city hosts numerous high-profile events every year, including the Formula One Chinese Grand Prix.
